To all whom it may conoem:

Be it known that LRonnnr G. JACKSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tacoma, in the county of Pierce and State of \Vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Food Conn pounds, of which the following is a specification.

This invention comprehends certain new and useful improvements in food compounds and relates particularly to an improved artiole of this character, which is intended for use as a breakfast food or as a food for invalids or other sick persons.

The invention has for its primary object on article of this character which will be nutritious and on able of being easily digested and assimi ated and to this end, the invention consists essentially in a food compound which is composed of wheat, rye and flax meal, to which bran is added, the whole being thoroughly mixed and subseqiiently packed in cartons or otherwise for so e and distribution.

In preparing my improved food compound I take clean, high grade wheat, rye

and flax meal and grind each of these ingredients in the proportions of thirty-two and one-half per cent. of the rye meal, twenty-five per cent. of the wheat meal and ten percent. of the flax meal and LU this 1. add thirty-two and one-ha1f per cent. of prime bran. I thoroughly mix these ingredients by hand or otherwise and pack the food compound thus produced in cartons or other receptacles ready for distribution to the trade.

Manifestly, the com ound is not only harmless, but on the ot ier hand is exceedingly nutritious, capable of being easily cligested and therefore eflicient for use by in valids or the like or as what is commonly known as a-breakfest food.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

The herein described food compound con sisting of the following ingredients, in the following proportions, rye meal, thirty-two and one-half per cent; wheat meal, twentyfive per cent.; flax meal, ten per cent.; and prime bran, thirty-two and one-half per cent, the 'said ingredients being thoroug 1y commingled, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto atiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

ROBERT G. JACKSON.
